CORE VOTED WORLD’S BEST KITESURF BRAND
RECOGNITION FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS AND SUCCESS
Readers of the international Kitesurf and Wingfoil magazines "iksurfmag" and "Tonic" have voted CORE as the best kite brand and manufacturer of 2023. In addition, CORE also achieved excellent placements among the board, wing, and foil manufacturers, as well as for the CORE Pro Team.
CORE has been voted the best kitesurf brand and manufacturer for 2023 by readers of the international "iksurfmag" and also achieved three outstanding third-place rankings in the wingfoil categories of "Tonic" magazine. These achievements stand out, considering CORE entered the new wingfoil market only in 2022.
Philip Schinnagel, CEO of CORE, commented on the award: "We're incredibly excited about this feedback from around the world. It's a testament that in a fiercely competitive market, we continue to provide our customers and team riders with the right equipment to create unforgettable kite moments and set records."
The remarkable success can be attributed in large part to the immense popularity of CORE's kite and board models, notably the XR Pro. With the best kite model for the "Big Air" discipline, CORE team riders achieved a total of four record jumps, leading the global women's and men's big air leaderboards with heights of 32.6 meters and 36.2 meters, respectively.
Jochen Czwalina, also CEO of CORE, emphasized: "I'm especially pleased that in these challenging times, the success of our company philosophy, focusing on intensive development, the highest quality materials, and excellent craftsmanship, is being rewarded? by our customers. Additionally, we have not only a great team locally, but – as the voting also shows – really great guys and girls all over the world who are advancing this great sport on the water with a lot of passion!"
The spread of CORE's philosophy and reputation in the kitesurf community is supported by exceptional athletes like Ben Beholz and Steven Akkersdijk. With different concepts, they reach thousands of water sports enthusiasts on YouTube daily and were recently honored in the iksurfmag voting as the best and second-best vlogger, respectively. Congratulations!
